We regret her departure but are proud that she has been asked for this position. Chantal has led Interpolis in a particularly inspiring way over the past seven years. During this period, she played an important and connecting role in the successful cooperation with Rabobank, among other things. Her engaging personality and great commitment have helped Interpolis to get to where it is today. For this we are particularly grateful to Chantal. We wish her every success and pleasure at KPN."
